Stafford Crown Court heard 24-year-old Sargeant had initially claimed her mum’s injuries were self-inflicted but later admitted what had done although she claimed she did not intend to kill or seriously injure Rocky.

The scene in Sun Street, Cheadle

When Sargeant was arrested on suspicion of murder, she responded: ‘She drove me to it. I killed her’.

It took a jury of seven men and five women around three hours to find her guilty of murder.
